The Most Uncomfortable Questions People Have Ever Been Asked
Reddit user Dr_Cloying asked: 'What's the most uncomfortable question you've ever been asked?'
Everyone jokes about not liking small talk and how ridiculous it is to talk about the weather, sports, and the traffic all the time.
But compared to the most uncomfortable questions someone might ask, those dull topics might be the way to go.
Redditor Dr_Cloying asked:
"What's the most uncomfortable question you've ever been asked?"

Child Loss
"At the start of the pandemic, my hospital asked all pregnant staff to go home and shield. I was very early in the pregnancy and had had two previous miscarriages that no one at work knew about."
"Everyone found out why I was shielding, because what other reason did a doctor have to not work during the pandemic?"
"I ultimately had another miscarriage and came back a few months later."
"A male colleague I was friendly with said, 'It's so good to see you back, what did you have?' (Assuming I had the baby.)"

- Dovleti
These were undeniably unreasonable questions for someone to ask another person, especially if that is a person they do not know well.
As boring as it might be, sometimes it's best to stick with talking about the weather.
People Share The Best Real-Life Examples Of 'You Can Have A Ph.D. And Still Be An Idiot'
Earning a college degree, especially a doctorate, takes a heck of a lot of work and definitely requires intelligence. Expertise in your usually narrow field of study definitely doesn't guarantee expertise in other areas — especially common sense, it seems.
Redditor SgtSkillcraft asked:
"Richard Feynman said, 'Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot.' What are some real life examples of this?"
Too Much Ketchup
"My ex-boyfriends mother was a linguistics professor and knew over 10 languages. She was also one of the dumbest people I've ever met. Some examples: she believed that in case of emergency stewardesses catapult out of the plane; she was also convinced donating blood causes some blood disease and you can die because of it. But my favourite one was when she said her son's orthopaedic problems are not a result of a serious injury he had. His knee hurts because he eats too much ketchup."
- ImnotUK
"Man that ketchup is going straight to my knees. Ima need to sit for a minute."
- myrevenge_IS_urkarma
You'd Think An Engineer Would Understand Physics
"I had a boss who was an engineer who put a couple hundred dollars in change in a bank’s pneumatic drive through tube where it got stuck and they had to use a jack hammer to get it out. He was upset that the bank was charging him for this because he didn’t know this would happen. They had large signs saying not to put change in the tubes, including on the tubes themselves."
- RumBunBun
Self-Powering Power Strip
"My first call at my first IT job was in a medical laboratory. There was a doctor who had been in the job for years and she called saying her computer would not power on. I walked her through some troubleshooting and nothing worked. "Is the computer plugged in? Ok, is the monitor on? Ok, when did the problem start?" type of questions were asked and she answered them all. I go up to her office and indeed the computer is plugged in to a power strip which is plugged in to itself. Cleaning crew had deep cleaned her office and never plugged anything back in. Dr. plugged the power strip into itself thinking that as long as it was plugged in, that's all she needed."
- acheron53
Liquid Displacement Isn't That Complicated, Is It?
"I was at a keg party at college and the (gravity keg) was set up. Someone complained that the beer was not flowing, so I check that the keg was still almost full. Turns out someone closed the air intake on top. I opened the intake and poured myself a beer. Problem solved. A few minutes later someone else complains the beer is out. I told them the keg was full a few minutes ago and it was a tap problem that I fixed. They told me they just came from the keg. I go back to the keg and find the intake was closed again. Opened it and poured the young lady who said it was empty a beer. As she is leaving my suitemate comes in and goes to the intake can closes it. Now my suitemate is a straight A student who gets all As mostly due to his photographic memory."
"Back to the keg. So I tell him that he needs to leave the intake open to let air in to displace the beer coming out of the lower tap. He then proceeds to tell me that since the beer is carbonated air is not needed to replace the liquid volumn lost when the beer is dispensed. So I asked him two questions; If it is not needed, why is there the upper tap, and does he really think the amount of gas the carbonation gives off in a glass of beer is equal to the volumn of the liquid beer? He thought for a few seconds and his only response was, "I have a 4.0, what is your GPA?" Then he walked away."

Med Students Aren't Immune To The Bystander Effect
"Not quite PhD. But I was at a party (in the uk) full of med students and stereotypically everyone was off their face drunk. Well some guy fell over and broke his collar bone and immediately got rushed by a dozen of them all fussing and asking him the same questions over and 'going through the checklist'. Half an hour later and he's still on the couch in pain and I go in to ask if anybody knows why the ambulance is taking so long. Nobody had an answer because nobody had called one. A party full of medical students hadn't called an ambulance or made any transport arrangements for a guy in severe pain with a broken clavicle. Idiots."
- Reiseoftheginger
"That's actually super common in emergencies when there's a group of any kind. One of the first things you learn in a lifeguard certification course is to identify a single person to instruct to call 911. Never just yell out 'someone call 911' or assume that it's been done because everyone in the group is assuming someone else did it already."
"It's not necessarily that everyone forgot about it, just that everyone assumed it was the logical first step that someone else would have taken already."
- Bangarang_1
He Just Hadn't Had His Coffee Yet

Laser Focused Intelligence
"My wife has two Masters and a PhD, is internationally recognized in her field, and is an absent minded doofus. My role in her life is to ensure that her car works, that she takes her meds, and that she eats things other than yogurt and eggs. She can be brilliant one minute, then walk into the side of a moving bus the next."
"I love her dearly but she's a numpty."
- Lost_One_1963
Dump Dinners Were Designed For This Person
"As someone who did two trades and then decided life is better with education - my experience currently going to Uni is how clueless so many people are in Uni. I wouldn’t say they’re an idiot, but tons of ignorance develops living in a student bubble your whole life."
"I rented a room to a guy who did his masters, and it would take him hourssss to cook dinner. I watched him one day, and he just couldn’t wrap his mind around cooking things that take different amounts of time to cook."
"Like, he’d start cooking potatoes and wait til they were done before moving on to the next thing he was going to eat them with."
- XavierOpinionz
Doctors Are Brilliant...and Not So Brilliant
"I work with medical doctors all the time for work. Doctors are some of the dumbest smart people I have ever met."
- Secksualinnuendo
"Yup. I know a plastic surgeon who thought it was a great idea to sue Yelp for bad reviews his business was getting. This ensured that tons of news stories were written about him that repeated those bad reviews to a bigger audience."
- heimdahl81
"My friend's dad is a surgeon, I never forget when we were 13-14 and her mom called her to ask if she could go home and make something to eat for her dad because he was starving."
"That's when she told me that he had never ever made a meal himself for his entire life, he cannot even work the toaster, literally! So the guy was just starving at home because he cannot make a simple meal. And the next day he's fixing someone's heart."
- _reykjavik
"As someone who works security in a hospital, I can say a good 90% of the doctors there are smart but lack any type of common sense, and sometimes I wonder how they function on a day-to-day basis"
- Ray_Ray_86
Doors Are Hard
"I used to work at a university, and tons of academics are incredibly educated in their chosen field, but have the common sense of your average dachshund."
"My favourite was probably an entire group of geology professors and PhD candidates who got 'stuck' for a good few minutes in an entryway because they didn't think to check if the door required a pull rather than a push. Bearing in mind that they'd just entered with that same door not an hour before."
- Koras
Children Require Supervision At All Times
"My ex had a real lack of knowledge and common sense when it came to children."
"She's currently completing her PHD in biochemistry and molecular biology. She was confused though when I said I couldn't go out after putting my toddler to bed as I had no one to babysit. In her mind, once my daughter was asleep she no longer needed anyone here to take care of her."
"I chalked it up to cultural differences and never being around children. Eventually though our opinions on raising kids differed too much and I had to end things for my daughter's sake."
- RetroDad-IO
Just Read The Documentation
"Worked at a tech company, was made team lead. One of our team members was a PhD in astrophysics. He would ping me constantly for how to do things that we had well documented. How to install certain programs, how to gain access to servers or code repositories. Literally we would sit in zoom calls together and I would just read the instructions out loud and watch him do them. I was utterly confused as to how he could breathe by himself."
- Woodhouse_20
It's Not Supposed To Be A Soup
"A long time good friend, absolutely brilliant. Can literally beat you at chess blindfolded. Engineering in college and one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. But he’s a big picture guy, sees how things develop and great long term vision. Incredibly successful. But little things? Guy couldn’t pack a suitcase, wouldn’t know how to book a flight. Was making boxed Mac-n-cheese and couldn’t figure out why it was so watery. Ya, he didn’t drain the water after the pasta was cooked."
- PapaChoff
India Is Definitely Not A Continent
"Mother in law has a PhD in some thing related to botany. She thought India was a continental island like Australia. To this day I still have no idea how that happened when this came up she was in her mid 60's."
- SavingsCheck7978
Computers Aren't That Hard To Understand
"If you work IT you feel this. Every lawyer, doctor, celebrity and CEO I've ever worked with is computer illiterate. They can email, they can Twitter and that's it. They confuse the mouse, they openly call themselves Luddites, they kick the power plug out and claim the 'box broke'. Mega-millionaires, too. Smart in other regards, but computers are kryptonite."
- zeift
"not IT, but, I worked in tech support for Verizon fiber optic services a long time ago. they provided internet, TV, and phone services."
"my favorite call was a dude who couldn't receive calls, and this was a Big Deal™ because He Was A Doctor - that might've been something he repeated a few times. anywho, I walk him through basic troubleshooting as he's dramatically exhaling after every sentence because I should obviously just be sending a tech. I wasn't allowed to do that without going through the steps, though."
"everything in the house checked out, but, after an attempt to remotely reset the system to no avail, my last required step for the guy was reporting the state of some status lights in the terminal on the wall outside the house. I get the guy to pop the front panel, and I'm explaining that he needs to tell me which of these lights is on and off, and what one of the digital panels says. guy cuts me off to say, 'oh, hey, there's a bunch of phone and internet cables in here,' to which I reply, 'yes, there are, but, we don't need to pay attention to them at this time, we just need to know what the status of the system is.'"
"dude says, 'well, these don't seem to be plugged into the right ports. let me see if I can correct-' this was when I interjected with, 'sir, please don't mess with any of the wired connections, those are setup on installation and everything is already mapped to your home layout-'"
"that's when he cut me off with, 'I think I know what I'm doing - after all, I'm A Doctor.'"
"the line immediately went dead. obviously, I tried to call him back... but, his issue was that he couldn't receive phone calls, and we didn't have a cell phone number for him. shucks."
"I've often pictured the guy standing outside his home, realization of his mistake settling in, all while his brain starts to focus on the fact that he had to wait on hold for over fifty minutes to even speak with me. f**king glorious."
- extralyfe
We can't all be smart in every area of life, but it's good to be able to acknowledge your weaker areas as well as your strengths.
Have you ever looked at someone after they've asked you a question and wondered,"How have you managed to live this long?" Or, even better: "Did I really just hear that?"
It hurts even more once you realize they're not pulling your leg.
I wish I could say this hasn't happened to me more times than I can count, but the human race has a way of disappointing me in ways nothing else can.
Sadly, we all run into these people (and their questions).
People shared their stories after Redditor Mylefthoof asked the online community:
"Even though there are no dumb questions, what is the dumbest question you've ever been asked?"
"What made it particularly weird..."
"Do you have Christmas in the UK?"
"What made it particularly weird was that we'd literally just been discussing the movie Love, Actually, which is both very British and very Christmas-y."
Bananageddon
Did they not realize that Love Actually takes place in the UK? People really don't pay attention, do they?
"Where do I even begin?"
"I'm in IT management. Where do I even begin? 'There's an error on the screen that says I need to restart to complete the update, what should I do?'"
ReeG
I think I would scream.
At some point, I would scream.
"A coworker of mine, without any context, asked me, 'Is Ash Wednesday this Friday?'"
pjabrony
Did you tell them to think about their question for a little longer?
Just... a... little... longer?
"During my exchange year in the US, I was sitting in my English class and we had a few minutes until class started, when one of the guys I spoke regularily to, suddenly turns and asks me if I could speak English since I'm from Germany."
"I calmly asked him in what language we had been speaking just a second ago. It was pretty hilarious and even our teacher had a good laugh with us."
"In short: Guy asked me if I could speak English, while we were talking in English."
SomeSugarAndSpice
Perhaps his brain short-circuited – let's cut him some slack.
"I was not able to convince her..."
"But why do you eat apples? You're a vegetarian, you can't eat that."
"I was not able to convince her that being vegetarian doesn't mean to only eat roots."
SecretSummerMidnight
This implies that vegetarians give up everything that could possibly taste good in favor of roots.
This person really needs to expand their palate.
"Once when I was in a tech support group..."
"Once when I was in a tech support group I literally had a guy email me and ask for my email address."
FirstTOOtheleft
But... but WHERE did they think they were sending their message?
"Being that I was in the aft galley..."
"I'm a flight attendant and while waiting to deplane a passenger in the back of the aircraft asked me if I worked the flight. Being that I was in the aft galley and literally had no way of magically appearing on the plane I was pretty confused."
Lscottbr
Did they think that you were dressed in your flight attendant uniform for fun or what?
"Thankfully it was asked..."
"Are you a real black person? Your skin is too light."
"Thankfully it was asked by a little kid, but it was so stupid that I still laugh about that years later."
starkillerzx
Imagine if this was an adult.
Actually, I don't need to imagine it.
Adults say dumb stuff like this all the time.
"I was talking to my nephew..."
"I was talking to my nephew about how Albert Einstein only started talking at the age of two. He then looked me in the eyes and asked me in an adorably serious manner, 'Did Albert Einstein invent words?' I forget how smart 11 year olds are meant to be, but it made me chuckle."
MattThePi3b
So what you're saying is... this kid isn't an Einstein.
"Once my mom..."
"Once my mom had to have part of a lung removed due to cancer. Afterwards, the doctor showed us the imaging that showed the remaining cancer spread through the rest of her lungs, which we already knew about. My dad asked him why they didn't remove all of her lungs."
esca0014
Are you sure your dad wasn't going for a perfectly timed dad joke?
Did your brain explode reading these? We wouldn't blame you. Humans are so frustrating.

People Describe The Dumbest Preventive Measure Someone Has Ever Tried That Actually Worked
What the hell made them think of that?
You've probably asked yourself that from time to time, especially when looking through history's weirder moments. And guess what?
Your average Joe has had to be a creative problem solver at least once or twice, too. Whether it's to avoid losing a job or to get out of a crappy meeting, we must never doubt human ingenuity.
Join us as we roll our eyes yet nod appreciatively at people who somehow made it through despite committing acts that would otherwise be seen as glitches in the matrix!
But before you do, feel free to thank Redditor KiraCosmicGod, who asked the online community:
"What is the dumbest thing humans did to prevent something and it actually worked?"
"Native Americans..."
"Native Americans who were in Florida won a battle against the settlers by using crocodiles, preventing them from taking their land."
eeepsis
Brilliant! Weaponzing the local wildlife. I will have to remember this for next time.
"Wearing a motorcycle helmet..."
"Wearing a motorcycle helmet while snowblowing. I did it because I missed riding, it kept my face warm and when snow would fly back at me the visor would protect me."
Fortknoxgaming
You probably looked like some creepy serial killer but that's okay, the snow was cleaned up!
"When I was younger..."
"When I was younger I got called into HR because I drew a very detailed picture of a penis. It was really really good."
The HR meeting happened like a week after I drew it and my only defense was 'I dont recall doing that, do you happen to have the picture? It might jog my memory.' They didnt have it of course because I had it, and because I didnt confess they couldn't do anything."
"Investigation results inconclusive, have a nice day."
Flynn_10
You're sneaky, aren't you?
Are you still employed by the same company?
"Bloody worked too..."
"A RNZAF co-pilot in WWII once climbed outside his bomber, onto the wing, to put out a fire. Bloody worked too and he got a Victoria Cross for his efforts."
light_engine
This person is braver than I will ever be. All I can think reading this is noooope.
"I forgot to bring my resume..."
"I forgot to bring a resume to a job interview, but I had an index card in my bag. I cut the index card in half and wrote my name, my contact info, and "creative problem solver" in my best handwriting, and gave a copy of my 'business card' to both the interviewers."
"I got the job."
kayification
Well, that's certainly one way to make an impression! Glad it worked out!
"Our power was out..."
"Our power was out due to a storm. I had a camp stove to use for boiling water to make a coffee pour-thru, but I couldn't use my electric grinder for the coffee beans. I tried fashioning a mortal and pestle but it was taking too long."
"So I put the coffee beans in a couple of ziplock bags, placed the bag right behind a car tire, then ran over it back and forth a couple of times to crush the beans. Worked like a charm."
EugeneStargazer
Brilliant. I might call you if I need some help during the zombie apocalypse.
"There was a natural gas mine..."
"There was a natural gas mine in Uzbekistan that had a gas leak. To fix the leak, the Soviets nuked the mine with an atom bomb. It worked."
Some-Basket-4299
When there's a problem, just throw an atom bomb on top of it.
But don't.
Please don't actually do that.
"At one point..."
"At one point in the American Revolution, a portion of the American army was completely out of gunpowder and saw British troops approaching, so they heavily fortified their position to make it appear they would win a decisive battle and prevent the British troops from engaging."
Mr_Henslee
This truly lends further credence to the saying, "Fake it until you make it."
"The security guard..."
"A friend and I once snuck 15 people into a Warped Tour by giving them some bracelets from a party supply store and clipboards full of paper. Walked up to the side gate and said we were with Rock The Vote. The security guard waved us right in."
GoodgoodGodgod
Why didn't I think of this?!
I am disappointed in myself.
"When I was young and broke..."
"When I was young and broke I bought a sofa from a used furniture store. I had no way to take the sofa home. I went to a used car lot a couple of blocks away and took a truck for a test drive."
luckyhenry
A creative solution to a big problem.
Genius.
You know, come to think of it, some of these ideas aren't dumb at all. I don't know what that says about me...
But seriously though... if you ever have the opportunity to drop an atom bomb on something, just don't do it. That's the biggest takeaway here.

People sure are silly, aren't they?
Reddit user, Loudersmoke420, wanted to know when someone was just so wrong when they asked:
What's the dumbest thing someone has asked you in full seriousness?
Social cues and graces are learned on the fly, where you gain that experience by actually talking to people.
That doesn't mean it always goes smoothly, however, as evidenced by these interactions.
...You're Either One Or The Other
"I'm an identical twin. When I was in primary school a classmate asked if I ever forget which one I am." ~ Grace_Omega
Unlikely, But Within The Realm Of Possibility
"I had a brain fart once when I was a teen and asked someone if they had ever died." ~ Xtrminated-Maverick
"If it makes you feel any better I actually died from Sudden Cardiac Death and was brought back to life. So, it's not an entirely idiotic question. It happens." ~ NoBallsNoBabies
That's A Grand Total Of...
"I once told someone that I could count the number of women I'd been with on one finger. After a long moment of silence that I mistook for comprehension, he asked "so how many?"
"EDIT: To give a better idea what we're dealing with, this guy, at 20 yrs old, made serious inquiries into getting his healthy teeth pulled and replaced with dentures because he was tired of having to brush & floss." ~ PerfectionPending
Can You Say It More Slowly?
"How do you pronounce your last name?"
"*Are you sure?" ~ Mini-Heart-Attack
You're...You're Standing In It.
"When waitressing a patio shift people would stand, literally on the other side of the fence, debating whether to eat inside or outside."
"It was very common for them to ask "what's the weather like on the patio today?"
"As if they weren't currently standing..in the outside weather." ~ Soulretrieval101
Maybe the stupid question comes from their lack of understanding? After all, it would be silly to expect everyone in the world to know everything about everything all the time.
Even still, does make these questions a little odd.
You Know The Gas Isn't Found There, Right?
"How do they know there is gas under gas stations?" ~ tigerllort
One Isn't The Other, You Know That Right?
"I am blind. I was staying over at my cousins house once, and one of them asked me, do you know sign language? I said, I am Blind not deaf. They responded, I know that you could talk to deaf people that way. I said, yes, I can talk to them but I wouldn't know what they are saying." ~ Nisa4444
Do you fry frozen french fries in boiling water. My roommate ask me this one evening. He was 24 and didn't know that you use oil to fry things. This goon thought you boiled them in water, lol.
Perhaps people should have spent more time paying attention in geography class during their school days. Probably could have saved some of these people a lot of time an embarrassment.
You Speak English? Where Are You From?
"When I lived in America I was complimented on my English and asked if it was hard to learn a second language. I'm from Australia." ~ Zygomaticus
"I have a Yorkshire accent and when I was in America a group of people tried to guess what country I was from and they named literally every single English speaking country in the world except for England." ~ TehBigD97
Do...Do People Not Understand How Hawaii Works?
"Not me but I live in Hawaii and someone I know said a tourist once asked him if the water went all the way around the island."
"Another friend said a tourist asked if they could just swim under the island (snorkel, actually, not even SCUBA) to get to the other side."
"My husband's cousin once said she wanted to get her dad's RV and drive from California to Hawaii to see us."
"Yeah." ~ geckotatgirl
Yeah, This Is Dumb
"I'm British and when visiting New York I was asked if I came over by plane or car. She insisted there was a bridge between Britain and the US." ~ justwannapoopinpeace
Think before you speak.
That's the easiest way to avoid any of the previous mistakes. Just, think.
